In the latest statement, Doc Willie Ong said he had thought a lot before making this decision. Although he did not specify the exact reason, close sources revealed that he felt **”no longer suitable for the current campaign”** and wanted to spend time on other important issues.

*”I have fought hard, but sometimes you have to know when to stop. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout the years.”* – Doc Willie shared.

Many people believe that this may be the result of political pressure, while others believe that he wants to focus more on health care instead of running for office.
